I’ve already lightly read into supposed leaks, and assuming they’re right, yeah it doesn’t really do it for me. Still, I’ve not the slightest clue what direction this movie is going. I want to believe LucasFilm wants to give this ST a solid, satisfying ending. And part of me is irked by the feeling that maybe it’s going to be a half-assed effort. It will be an effort nonetheless, but not a great one.
As much as I liked TLJ for specific parts here and there, I’m still disappointed in it as a middle act. I don’t think Rian really gave much thought into how the next director could further the story. And so then we’re left with whatever leftovers available to forge… Well whatever those leaks are saying.
